It turned out that Zhang Yingzhi had indeed invited Xu Lizhong several times, wanting to invite him out to have a meal, drink a glass of wine, and establish friendship with him, because he knew very well that among Secretary Lu's two secretaries, Guo Zhijun was the only one who was deaf. The ears are purely for decoration. The one whom Secretary Lu really trusts and relies on is Xu Lizhong, the driver and bodyguard. If the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary is the "No. 2 Chief", Guo Zhijun is not worthy of this title. He can really be called The person who deserves the title of "No. 2 Chief" is this Xu Lizhong.
However, Xu Lizhong is a very principled person who never makes friends with others easily. In addition to serving Secretary Lu, he lives in seclusion the rest of the time. He basically does not interact with other people and has no hobbies. Moreover, this person is particularly taciturn. , He always has a cold and serious look that refuses people thousands of miles away. Ordinary officials do not dare to have his idea, and this is why Secretary Lu appreciates and trusts him.
Therefore, although Zhang Yingzhi had invited Xu Lizhong several times, Xu Lizhong rejected him without any room for negotiation every time. For example, today, he sent CDs to Xu Lizhong and wanted to invite him to have a meal with him at noon, but Xu Lizhong refused He said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't have time," and rejected him on the spot without even saying a polite word, which made him very embarrassed at the time...
Ye Ming also knew that Xu Lizhong had a cold personality and was not easy to deal with. However, he remembered that when Xu Lizhong and Secretary Lu went to Xinleng for investigation and inspection, they left him his mobile phone number before leaving, saying that if they encountered any difficulties, If you have any questions, you can come to him at any time.
Ye Ming knew: People with a personality like Xu Lizhong's are often men who promise a lot of money. As long as they say something, they will definitely do it. Since he promised himself at the beginning that he could come to him if he had any difficulties, then , I did encounter something difficult today, and he wouldn’t be offended if I approached him...
So, he said to Zhang Yingzhi: "Director Zhang, Director Xu and I are acquaintances. How about I try calling his number to see if he can come over and have a meal with us now. As long as he gets to the dinner table, Yes, I believe he is still easy to talk to,"
Zhang Yingzhi's eyes lit up, but soon there was a suspicious look in his eyes: Although Ye Ming is quite popular with Secretary Lu now, looking at Xu Lizhong's character, he is not taken seriously by anyone except Secretary Lu. The tsundere character in "Ye Ming", no matter how cool he is, is just the deputy director of a small tax bureau in Xinlang County. With Xu Lizhong's indifferent character, will he buy Ye Ming's account? Besides, even if he looks at Secretary Lu's Face, he came to eat, but could he listen to Ye Ming and go and intercede for him?
Thinking of this, the bright color in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and with a sense of luck, he said to Ye Ming: "Well, please ask Mr. Ye to call Director Xu,"
When Ye Ming dialed Xu Lizhong's number, he was also worried. After the call was connected, he said cautiously with a smile on his face: "Hello, Director Xu, I am Ye Ming. I am eating at the Jinqiao Hotel now. I don't know if Xu Director, are you free? If so, I would like to invite you to come over and have a drink together,"
As before, Xu Lizhong was silent for a while on the phone, and then said angrily: "Director Ye, wait a minute. I'll go ask the chief first to see if he has anything for me to do in the next few hours. If nothing happens, I'll come right away,"
Ye Ming was shocked when Xu Lizhong said that he wanted to ask Secretary Lu for instructions. He was afraid that Secretary Lu would blame him for being ignorant. He had just visited him in the morning and called his secretary out for dinner in the evening. He hurriedly said to Xu Lizhong: "Director Xu, if You still want to ask Secretary Lu for instructions, so forget it, I won’t bother you, let’s have a drink together next time,”
Xu Lizhong guessed his worries, and gave a rare smile. He said warmly: "Director Ye, don't worry, the chief has a very good impression of you. After you left in the morning, he has been talking to me about you. Some topics, now you invite me to dinner, I will report to him, he will never have any thoughts about you,"
Ye Ming could only say: "Thank you, Director Xu,"
After Xu Lizhong hung up the phone, he quickly came to Secretary Lu's office, knocked on the door and went in. Seeing that Secretary Lu was still reading the documents, he asked softly for instructions: "Chief, Ye Ming just called me and invited me to have dinner at the Jinqiao Hotel. , I originally left him a phone number, saying that if he has any difficulties, he can call me at any time, so I am worried that he has encountered some difficulties now, and I want to go over and have a look. I wonder if you have anything else to tell me. ,"
When Secretary Lu heard that Ye Ming wanted to invite Xu Lizhong to dinner, he felt moved. He raised his head, leaned on the back of the chair, squinted and thought for a moment, and said, "Ask him who he is dining with now, and whether there are many people." many,"
Xu Lizhong nodded, dialed Ye Ming's number, and asked him who he was dining with and whether there were many people.
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Director Xu, there are only four of us here: me, Deputy Director Zhang Yingzhi of the provincial TV station, Xia Chuchu, the host of the romantic hand-holding column of the provincial TV station, and one of my little sisters."
Xu Lizhong said "hmm", hung up the phone, turned around and repeated Ye Ming's words to Secretary Lu.
As soon as Secretary Lu heard that a deputy director of the provincial TV station was there, he immediately guessed Ye Ming's intention: the provincial TV station was preparing to change its leader, and the deputy director somehow knew about Ye Ming's relationship with himself and Xu Lizhong, so I approached Ye Ming and wanted to ask him to help him connect.
However, despite this, Secretary Lu still came up with the idea of ​​going to have dinner with Ye Ming in person: Now, as long as he has a chance, he wants to be with his son, especially because he particularly likes and enjoys being with his son. The atmosphere of eating together, coupled with the fact that Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu are now together again, and Xia Chuchu is his favorite choice for his daughter-in-law, last night when he was having dinner at Secretary Li Runji’s house, he saw Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu Together, like a pair of golden boys and girls, it made him feel particularly happy, comforted and at ease.
Therefore, he now really wants to experience the feeling of having his son present and watching him eat.
So, he stood up and said to Xu Lizhong: "Lizhong, please call Xiaoye and tell me that I want to go to their place for a meal tonight. However, they are not allowed to disturb other people. There are only a few people in their box." Just one person is enough, don't call some miscellaneous people over,"
Xu Lizhong was surprised when he heard that Secretary Lu said that he wanted to go over for dinner. However, he quickly understood: Secretary Lu had already doted on Ye Ming to the point of being a bit rude, so he did such an outrageous move.
